JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study cannot be conducted since the substance undergoes rapid hydrolysis (half-life < 1h) in aqueous to acetone oxime and the corresponding silanols. Moreover, these silanols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable.

Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
other: shake flask and HPLC methods
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Remarks on result:
other: An experimental determination of the partition coefficient could not be performed

The guidelines include two separate methods: the shake flask method and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

An experimental determination of the partition coefficient could not be performed, because

1) the test substance rapidly degrades with a half-life time of <1 hour at 25°C, see separate report on the hydrolysis

2) the test substance is a mixture of several compounds for which the shake-flask method is not applicable.

3) the test substance reacts with water (eluent), and in this case the HPLC method is not applicable.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient n-octanol/water assay for the test material Wasox-MMAC2 could not be performed.
Executive summary:

The experimental determination of the partition coefficient n-octanol/water assay for the test material Wasox-MMAC2 according to OECD Guideline 107, shake flask method or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), could not be performed, because:

1) the test substance rapidly degrades with a half-life time of <1 hour at 25°C, see separate report on the hydrolysis

2) the test substance is a mixture of several compounds for which the shake-flask method is not applicable.

3) the test substance reacts with water (eluent), and in this case the HPLC method is not applicable.

Description of key information

The Log Kow of test item should be understood based on its degradation products since it undergoes rapid hydrolysis (half-life < 1h) in water to acetone oxime (log Kow = 1.20, KOWWIN v1.68) and silanols (Log Kow  between -1.37 and -2.36, KOWWIN v1.68).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
1.2

Additional information

Data waiving (study technically not feasible): According to Column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study cannot be conducted since the substance undergoes rapid hydrolysis (half-life < 1h) in water to acetone oxime and corresponding silanols. Morevoer, these silanols, i.e. dimethoxymethylsilanol, methoxymethylsilanediol and methylsilanetriol, undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable.

The estimated log octanol-water partition coefficients (Log Kow) for the degradation products acetone oxime and silanols were 1.20 and between -1.37 and -2.36 (EPI-Suite, KOWWIN v1.68), respectively. Moreover, according to Jaros et al (2007) the Log Kow of acetone oxime was reported to be 0.20.
